About this project

Hello again. After the amazing successes of kickstarting the filming of series 7,8,9 and 10 of RHLSTP (as well as the new series of AIOTM) we were hoping you’d help us again and assist us in funding series 11 and 12 of RHLSTP and the creation of a brand new Emergency Questions Book called “Christmas Emergency Questions.”

Christmas EQ Book

That’s 30 episodes of the award-winning series and another 500+ questions (with over half of them with a Christmas theme) to ask your friends and family – delivered in time for Yuletide.

Questions like

Would you prefer to have eyes that were literally mince pies (and thus be blind) or feet made of Quality Street (but only the horrible green ones)?

Does Santa’s sleigh come fitted with a toilet? Or does he just wee in his pants or down people’s chimneys?

How do you think Jesus would react if you actually did sing Hosanna to Him? What if you did it every time you saw Him? And it was the only thing you ever uttered? Do you think He would get annoyed?

How would you react if someone gave you Myrrh for Christmas? What if it wasn’t even in a bottle – they just poured it into your cupped hands?

So we’re looking to raise £50,000 to cover the costs. But the more we can make, the more podcasts we can put out.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

(Limited to 14 people)

Get everything from the £75 level, but instead of just your name in the credits of one show, you will be listed as the executive producer of one episode of series 12. This job title comes with no power or responsibility, but it should appear on imdb.com and you’ll look like a king (or queen)

SUPREME EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Get everything from the £100 level, but you will be credited as "Supreme executive producer" of one episode of series 12. Unlike the normal Executive Producer you will have the opportunity to email Richard with one criticism of the series and how you think it could be done better and will receive an email back from Richard that politely tells you that is a good idea and that we will certainly think about it. But ultimately we will ignore what you’ve said because it’s stupid. Just like a proper clueless executive producer.

PRODUCT PLACEMENT

(Limited to 14 backers)

Pay £500 and we will mention your product or company or whatever within one episode of series 12 of RHLSTP and if applicable ask the guest to sample your product or give a comment on it. There is no guarantee that Rich or his guest will not be rude or sarcastic. The product placement will be done in a humorous way in keeping with the tone of the podcast, but Richard will encourage his up to 200,000 viewers and up to 200,000 listeners to purchase/sample said item. We reserve the right to not advertise a business or website that is not in keeping with the high moral standards of our enterprise. If in doubt check with Chris Evans (not that one) before donating. Choice of which episode your product appears on will be first come, first served. It will be your responsibility to get your product and any info to the Leicester Square Theatre in time for the recording.
